NaNo Day 13 ...
Nov. 13th, 2009 10:18 pmSo, today, I paid for the fantastic writing day I had yesterday. Because I had to do all my cleaning today, instead of half yesterday and half today, as planned. Bleh. Needless to say, I wrote ... NOTHING ... today. >.O (Maybe I'll manage to sneak in some writing time before I go to bed, but it looks doubtful at this point. Double Bleh.)
I am OK with it, though, as I am much farther along than I expected to be at this point. I keep getting this panicky feeling of: zOMG(!) Time is running out!!! But then I remind myself I still have half a month to go, including a few of those days that will be spent out of town next week. So, I think I am in pretty good shape. Doesn't mean I won't still blow it; anything is possible, after all. Just means I have to remind myself not to panic so much.
In other news ... Cleaning was the SUK. Gah. I freaking hate cleaning. A domestic goddess I am NOT. I love how the house is when things are all clean and everything is put away. But it discourages me, too, as I know it will not stay that way for very long. Plus, I feel really irritated with having to do all the cleaning. I am not the only one who lives in the house; why should I be the only one cleaning anything up?
I had a hard time motivating myself to do any of the housework today. Even though my parents arrive tomorrow afternoon, so I have officially hit the Zero Hour. I managed to get most of it done, but I'm not totally finished. The bathrooms are clean, and pretty much everything is straightened up. And I dusted. And cleaned the kitchen. And vacuumed the second floor. And did laundry, although there is always more laundry waiting. I swear, dirty clothes multiply in the hamper! I still need to vacuum the third floor, but I think I will have time to do that tomorrow before we leave for the airport. If not, I'll just do it (or talk hubby into doing it) when we get back from picking them up. These are my parents, after all. They know I am not an award-winning housekeeper. >.O
For now, I think I just want to take a nice, hot shower. *sigh*
UPDATE:
I managed to squeak some words in just under the wire (as it's 11:30 PM right now ... yikes!). So, final tally for Day 13: 27,827 Words!
